Sewell Automotive, a premier luxury auto dealership based in Dallas, Texas, sets the standard for developing innovative ways to distinguish their brand from the crowd. Dallas Love Field is going through unprecedented passenger growth due to expiration of the Wright Amendment. The objective was to design a VIP level of travel experience for Sewell customers that begins with the valet parking.

Tactics

AMI worked with the marketing team at Sewell to identify key non-traditional media assets and unique customer activations to make a significant impact on local consumers. In partnership with airport management, AMI set out to integrate the Sewell brand with the very popular Valet Parking Program. Entitlements and inventory include:

Sewell branded attendant uniforms

Branded drop off/pick up locations

Valet Parking – Brought to you by Sewell

Surprise and delight activations

Social media integration

Special benefits for Sewell customers

Automobile display – Cadillac, GMC, Lexus

Text to retrieve capabilities

Sewell branding integration within the Love Field website and all valet signage

Results

Sewell just began their third year as the official sponsor of valet parking at Love Field. During the first two years the Valet Parking served just under 160,000 passengers, and valet activity increased 150%. Sewell is driving consumers to their showrooms with strategically placed branding combined with creative surprise and delight elements. “The Sewell Sponsorship has been very effective for all parties and AMI has done an excellent job managing all aspects of the program and consistently delivers upon commitments that were made to the airport and this important client.” Ross McKillip – Dallas Love Field
